8,113 PointsGeneric Error Giving Me No Help
Hi! I've been trying to complete this code challenge, but am not receiving any helpful errors. All I'm getting is a "Bummer: Your implementation is off. Try again." message. Need something to help me more forward!
var utilities = require("./utilities");
var mailValues = {};
mailValues.first_name = "Janet";
var emailTemplate = "Hi %first_name%! Thanks for completing this code challenge :)";
var mergedContent = utilities.merge(emailTemplate, mailValues);
//mergedContent === "Hi Janet! Thanks for completing this code challenge :)";
function merge(content, values) {
for (key in values) {
content = "Hi " + values[key] + "! Thanks for completing this code challenge :)"
}
return content;
}
module.exports.merge = merge;

203 PointsLooks like you have the loop done alright. Maybe try something with String.prototyp.replace() like:
content = content.replace(...);
By using replace, you could replace the text between the percent signs with the value in values[key]. Hope this helps :)
